![]() This rich cable will add a large amount of density to your system. There’s also a slight softness which makes quick transients not as apparent.Overall, a weighty, euphoric, sweet, and “honest” sounding cable. There’s a slight bloom in the mids but overall very full-bodied, impactful, and addictive. Timbre/tone is one of the most accurate but may be a little thick for some. ![]() It is probably the richest sounding cable of the bunch (at the expense of some dimensionality). This (expensive) cable fixes everything from the Textura line. Great to add more mass to a more neutral or leaner sounding system. It’s a pleasing cable most will be happy with and the price makes it a no-brainer. Although it doesn’t have the most resolution or air, it has a tonal gradation and articulation that makes it very inviting. Something sounds “right” about it and I preferred the BulletPlug connectors over all the other ones. I spent a ton of time listening to this cable. I think this cable will work well on most systems, especially warmer but not darker systems. Compared to the CT-1, delineation isn’t as great and edges are slightly fuzzier with some grain. It also has an inherent excitement and is quieter to my ears. It’s more open, uplifted, forward, and has a more dynamic presence. This doesn’t sound like either of the CT-1s. The background isn’t the blackest (price for warmth) but will pair well with a resolving system. Fantastic delineation and great timbre.Ī natural upgrade from the CT-1. When tracks get busy, there’s a beautiful coherence and composure. Similar tone to the CT-1 with some improvements. Should sound great on most solid-state amplifiers or more higher resolution systems. If you need to add a lot more meat on the bones, this cable would work very well. Doesn’t have much shine up top but is incredibly musical. One of the sweetest midrange of the bunch. If you’re interested in sending in your cables, feel free.Ī very rich and dense sounding cable. I’ll also update to a quantified list with attributes (warmth, soundstage, resolution, etc). I’m planning on keeping this a living document so I’ll update as I go. I’m hoping this will help others tune and flavor their systems accordingly. Obviously, they’re system dependent, but I did try them on multiple systems and focused on the commonalities between systems. Most are using quality materials and appropriate geometries.Īfter months of listening, here are my findings. Unlike my experiments with digital cables, I don’t think any of these analog interconnects sounded terrible/unbearable. If cable A is warmer and punchier than cable B, it’ll usually be the same case in another system to a higher or lower degree. However, I’ve found the key sonic characteristics of the cable are still intact and the relative differences between the cables are preserved across systems. It’ll also enable me to hear the “true sound” of these RCA interconnects.Ī single power cable or component swap and the cables will sound a bit different, sometimes it’s dramatic. The Chord DAVE has enough power to drive these high-efficiency speakers and, with the help of adapters, enables me to skip the speaker cables entirely. My goal was to find the best pair that will go between my Omega Compact Alnico Monitors and the Chord DAVE. As mentioned in my previous reviews, I’ve gathered a few impressions on the RCA interconnects I’ve been listening to.
